Additional Information

- I also taught beginner Sign Language classes at my church. I utilized an online web site to plan weekly courses, explain objectives, teach vocabulary and common phrases to the hearing community so they could communicate with people from the Deaf community. With permission from ASLU University, I was able to use their lesson plans to accurately teach a class of approximately 15 adults and children how to communicate using sign language. I taught four 12 week courses over a period of 2 years.
